Here's why:
* The 2012 Colorado does not have a "tow-ready" package or the necessary equipment for flat towing. This means it lacks the specific driveline components and modifications required to safely tow the vehicle with its wheels on the ground.
What you can do:
* Use a tow dolly: This is the most common method for towing a Colorado. A tow dolly supports the rear wheels of the vehicle while the front wheels are on the road.
* Tow on a trailer: This is a more secure option but involves using a larger trailer.
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific towing instructions and recommendations.
It's essential to tow your vehicle safely. Flat towing a vehicle not designed for it can lead to damage and safety hazards.
